Article Abstract
Framed by theories of adolescent development, this study explored relationships among adolescents' perceptions of chat-site safety, time spent chatting, and risky online behaviors. Tenth graders (N = 139) in rural Midwestern U.S. schools completed surveys. Factor analysis produced three factors each for perception of safety and risk-taking behaviors. Regression analyses revealed that perception of safety factors were useful in predicting online risk-taking behaviors. Teens with more social discomfort and those who thought it was safe to reveal personal information and trust chat-site "friends" were more likely to take risks. As time spent in chat sites increased, so did risk-taking behaviors. Implications for educators and parents are discussed, such as initiation of conversations about safe Internet use, parental participation in chat sites as teens' invited "friends," and school programs to teach safe online practices.

Behavioral Research Program, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD, USA.
Purpose: Receiving prognostic information is a well-documented need for cancer survivors and caregivers. However, little is known about these two groups' prognosis information-seeking outside of discussions with healthcare providers. This study examined survivors' and caregivers' prognosis-related inquiries using data from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service (CIS).

J Integr Neurosci
November 2024
Laboratory of Molecular Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10065, USA.
Background: Precise localization of intracerebral implants in rodent brains is required for physiological and behavioral studies, particularly if targeting deep brain nuclei. Traditional histological methods, based on manual estimation through sectioning can introduce errors and complicate data interpretation.
Methods: Here, we introduce an alternative method based on recent advances in tissue-clearing techniques and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy.
Exploring Trade-Offs for Online Mental Health Matching: Agent-Based Modeling Study.
JMIR Form Res
October 2024
Human-Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, United States.
Background: Online mental health communities (OMHCs) are an effective and accessible channel to give and receive social support for individuals with mental and emotional issues. However, a key challenge on these platforms is finding suitable partners to interact with given that mechanisms to match users are currently underdeveloped or highly naive.
Objective: In this study, we collaborated with one of the world's largest OMHCs; our contribution is to show the application of agent-based modeling for the design of online community matching algorithms.
